MI RES defeated

Michigan voters defeated Proposal 3 November 6 by an almost 2-1 margin. The constitutional amendment would have required state utilities to generate 25 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025. Supporters of the ballot proposal, including environmental groups and some unions, contended that it would have created jobs and helped the environment, while opponents charged that it would result in higher electric bills and job losses.
